Police visits
Notifications OFF
If your person has finished with court and has had police visits, how often do they come? Monthly? Less frequently?
Do they come at random times, like sometimes daytime, sometimes evenings, sometimes weekends?
How late of an evening might they come?
How long are the visits? 15 mins? Half an hour? Longer?
Thanks all.

Our son was sentenced mid December and met his VISOR officer twice in the first few weeks but nothing since. The officer seemed very laidback, said he would only put monitoring software on our son's devices if he felt it was necessary. He hasn't done any unannounced visits at all yet. I'm thnking that like all the other professionals we meet on this journey (OIC, SWs, even judges) it is never 'one size fits all' but they all have different takes on their jobs. I'll be interested in reading any other replies to compare our experience with.
This is all to the best of my knowledge, but in the beginning it was every couple of weeks, but then once probation involved, offender manager visits monthly at most, it may have even been a few months now. They have contact via phone/email if any queries, mainly from my person asking if a certain 'thing' is ok.
Probation has sort of taken over checks, and has visited at home. Probation appointments are getting less often, so unsure if police visits will be more frequent again.
As far as I know, visits are very relaxed, and brief, 5-10 mins. Were during the day, I think one in an evening, but now my person is working, they'll have to evenings or weekends or they won't find him home.

OH sentenced in November
We've seen the offender manager twice so far.
They would be wasting their time coming at random times for my OH - he doesn't do a 9-5 job so visits have to be pre- arranged - and even then we might need to cancel...
So far it's all been ok - first visit he went through the returned devices and we agreed which ones we would get rid of - he had several elderly phones and a couple of old laptops/tablets. He took details of the devices we kept.
It's more of a social visit with a check of internet history on the remaining phone and iPad.

My oh was one year on register the police.visited 3 times in total the full year probation was once in our house, his probation was weekly the first month then fortnightly for 2 months then the rest was monthly, police and probation had one joint meeting around the 6 week mark
The police visited immediately after sentencing and we had to prove he was living here, then it was every six months. For the first 2 years it was six monthly visits from police, unannouced and lasted about an hour to an hour and a half. After two years they said he is now deemed low risk so only visit once a year. Again it will was unannounced.
